Do you think people with hard luck quit gambling?

[Emikoyumi]

Most people do not quit gambling because of bad luck. Instead they believe that even if they lose now they will surely win next time. This hope keeps them gambling again and again. Many times even after losing a lot of money a person thinks that one more try will recover everything. However there are some people who lose many times and then understand that gambling is not for them and slowly step away. But in reality the more a person loses the harder it becomes to quit. So bad luck often does not stop people it pushes them to take even more risks.

Yes! Most of the gamblers with hard luck quit gambling, it happens to me most times when I had series of almost win. Then I will just decide to quick I used to have this feeling that maybe my luck is not around, so for this reason what I do is to take a break for some couple of weeks sometimes days before going again. I have seen few gamblers that keep having almost win yet they don't think about stopping knowing fully well that thier luck is not around, instead they believe that if they keep trying that they might be lucky to loss that chain that is holding thier luck.

I think it will depend a lot on the person's personality. Some give up when they lose right away, others end up persisting precisely because they believe that learning more will change the outcome. In the game, experience ends up teaching more about limits than about winning, you know?

Indeed, it's something of personality, as we already know we don't all see gambling the same way. There are those who can handle losses and continue as if nothing happens, not just because they use little money to gamble but because they already know that's how gambling is, but we also have those who are not patient, and every little loss discourages them because they just think it's easy to win and consider the system not to be fair each time they lose.

People with hard luck can decide to quit or not, it is mainly a personal psychological decision. It is easy when the person isn't addicted. But once addicted, quitting becomes an issue and because of his gard luck, he will always believe that he is going to win the next one or the one after. His hard luck may make him win once in a while and he will tend to hold on to that win believing that his next win is just around the corner and he ends up losing all his money.
So quitting is basically based on addiction level. If he isn't addicted, even with his hard luck, he will be able to gain some wins that will cover for his losses everything has to do with calculated risk and how much you lose when you lost and how much you win when you win.
